See how here

You can’t require it. But you can add a message in your Confirmation and Reminder emails advising them to login with their ONIDs.
*Note: If advisor plans to share student info during meeting (e.g. screen share MyDegrees), use another method* to validate student identity if not logged in to ONID. (*Ask three non-directory info questions as recommended by OtR)

Copy and paste your Zoom personal meeting room link into the Default Location text box in the service setting page. Also, copy and paste in the entire meeting invitation into the confirmation message |
